Chapter 333
"No problem, as long as I know where the opponent is, it's not difficult for me to snipe from a long distance," Carlos agreed without hesitation.
"Thank you," William thanked with a smile, thinking that Carlos's sniper weapons are a bit special, "Do you need me to help you transport the equipment to the desert area?"
"No, you don't need to bother you about this trivial matter, I will go to Dubai and wait."
"Well, I will ask someone to prepare a private jet and helicopter for you in Dubai, and the car will be ready at the same time, so that you can rush there as soon as you get the news."
"That's the best," Carlos nodded in agreement, "Then I'll leave tonight, in case something new happens and I can't arrive in time."
"Don't be in such a hurry, let's talk about it after a night of rest," William asked with concern.
"It's really unnecessary. When I flew from New York, I slept the whole way. If I go early, I can get the equipment earlier, so as not to be late in case of emergencies."
"Okay," William said to Sunday, covering his ears with his left hand, "book a private jet to fly to Dubai."
"Understood, sir", and within 10 seconds, he replied that the plane was fixed on Sunday.
William smiled and said to Carlos, "The plane is ready, and I won't help you book a hotel in Dubai. You probably need to observe where you live."
"Of course," Carlos agreed, "people like me will only live in hotels or private houses that don't have much surveillance equipment. Well, I'll go to the airport and call if I need anything."
After watching Carlos leave, he spoke to the Death Squad who had already arrived in London, and told them to keep an eye on their antiques in the Bank of England temporarily, so as to prevent Barkawi and his gang from focusing on their own money and wealth.
Well prepared, several days passed, and when William, who was waiting for France Silver's reply, was almost impatient, the old man Pierre finally replied to him.
However, the news is not so good. After the Bank of France voted, they agreed to William’s plan, but many officials did not agree with their sale of Chantilly Castle, nor the bank’s sale of shares to William.
"Maybe we can trade Chantilly Castle first," Pierre, the general manager of the Bank of France, tentatively said.
"How much?" William said with a frown: "Warning, Pierre, think carefully before answering my question. If none of the transactions of buying shares in your bank and Chantilly Chateau succeed, I will deposit it in your bank. The $5 billion will be transferred out of France immediately,
At the same time, I will keep an eye on the stock price of your bank. Since some people don’t like me joining the Bank of France in a peaceful way, then I will use my own method to tell those people that I can reach out for it if I want.”
Hell, Pierre, who was far away in Paris, cursed in his heart, those politicians who used to be respectful to the Bank of France, but now they start to make trouble when they see the bank in trouble, and step on it.
At the same time, I am also very unhappy with William's attitude, but no matter how unhappy I am, I dare not show it now, "Mr. Devin Hill, we need at least 3.5 billion US dollars in funds, so,,"
Pierre didn't say anything, but William knew what the old bastard meant, and sneered, "OK, I bought it for 3.5 billion dollars, and my lawyer team will go to Paris to discuss the contract with you tomorrow. Goodbye, Monsieur Pierre".
After speaking, William directly turned off the phone, silently thinking about how to get revenge.
The Château of Chantilly must have been bought when it was bought, and even William wouldn't care if it cost 4 billion. The reason he's so upset now is because he didn't take advantage of the Bank of France.
However, this is a disadvantage, and it is not impossible to find other places. Once the Chantilly Castle transaction is completed, William will 100% step on the Bank of France.
Probably Pierre, the old fox, also understood his idea, so within a few minutes the old man called William again.
As soon as the call was connected, Pierre apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Devinhill, our bank's original intention was not to renege on the contract. On the contrary, we really hope that you will join us. Unfortunately, all of this was blocked by those in opposition. Mixed up.
This morning, the current President also discussed with us a feasible solution. If you really want to take a stake in our bank, you need not only patience, but also compromise and wisdom.
Otherwise, no one would welcome a person who used force to break down the door of someone else's house and came uninvited to come to their house as a guest."
"Haha", the old man Pierre said so euphemistically that William blushed a little. What he did in the stock market not only broke down the doors of other people's houses, but sometimes dug up the foundations of other people's houses.
"Sign the contract of buying and selling the Chantilly castle first, and then we may be friends, but everything depends on what you will do."
Chapter Four Hundred and Sixty IX: The Mobile Vault
After negotiating with Pierre, the general manager of the Bank of France, Anthony, who had already prepared that day, took a team of more than 20 people to Paris to discuss the contract with the Bank of France.
After spending two days making sure the contract was in order, William set off for Paris by helicopter and landed on the roof of the Banque de France building.
When I got off the plane, in addition to seeing Anthony and his colleagues waiting for him, Pierre led the people of the Bank of France, I also saw a helicopter flying around the bank building with the logo of the TV station printed on the fuselage.
"Boss, you may be the most unpopular Englishman in France now," joked Anthony, who was standing next to William.
"Is the contract okay?" Regardless of Anthony's joke, William asked with a smile,
Hearing that William said it was a matter of business, Anthony hurriedly said seriously, "Of course it's no problem. We not only reviewed it ourselves but also asked our counterparts in France to review it to ensure that there will be no damage to this contract in France.
question".
"Then what if the French government wants to overturn this contract?"
"Don't worry, boss, we live in a capital world. If the French government rejects this contract, the Bank of France will have to pay us at least 50% of the liquidated damages, which is 17.5 billion U.S. dollars. Buckle," Anthony squinted and smiled.
"In addition to your promise not to sell any of the cultural relics in Chantilly Castle to France, the current Mr. President reluctantly agreed, otherwise he would not have so much money to rescue the Bank of France."
"Haha, it seems that I have to find an opportunity to thank this Mr. President."
Although I was unhappy that I spent 300 million US dollars more than the bottom line in my heart, but when I thought about the exponential increase in land prices in the future, the discomfort in my heart quickly disappeared.
Smiling and waving to the interview helicopter that was facing him, he shook hands with Pierre, who had been waiting aside and was deliberately ignored by him.
"It seems that not only ordinary people don't welcome me, but even the shareholders in your bank don't welcome me, and no one came to pick me up.
Do they think that with the 3.5 billion US dollars, they don’t need to pay attention to me, the benefactor who reached out to you in times of crisis, or do they think that selling Chantilly Castle to me for 3.5 billion US dollars is to let me I take advantage of the sky? ".
"I'm sorry, Mr. Devonhill, although I'm a bit rude, but it seems to me, and even to all French people, that you have really taken advantage of it. It is an obvious fact that if it is not for our bank itself. 3.5 billion US dollars, it is still a question of whether we will talk to you.
And the shareholders did not come to pick you up, not because they are disrespectful to you, but because Mr. Zong Tong will personally come to the venue to witness the signing ceremony."
After saying this, Pierre grinned and looked at William with a smile.
"Well, it seems that I am not as important as Mr. Zong Tong." William laughed and took the lead to walk down the roof.
It wasn't that he was deliberately humiliated, so William didn't care. As for him being unpopular, that was expected.
People don't have to beg you now, why are they still flattering you.
"It's a pity that after this cooperation, other things we discussed may come to naught," Pierre sighed, "I didn't expect the shareholders who agreed to your shareholding before 80% would change their minds so quickly.
However, the cooperation between us is finally fruitful, and after today, the treasure of France, the Château de Chantilly will be yours."
"Haha, thank you," William was very happy to be able to buy Chantilly Castle. Not to mention antiques and castles, the 7,800 hectares of land alone will be worth tens of billions of dollars in more than ten years.
It is normal for antiques and cultural relics to appreciate four or five times in value, which is another six or seven billion U.S. dollars.
And the money is second, the key is that William really likes the climate and environment around Chantilly Castle.
Walk into the elevator and go down to the large meeting room on the 22nd floor of the bank building.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Abigail in a lady's overalls suit standing in front of a group of people to greet him.
Hugging Abigail, William pretended to complain, "Why don't you pick me up from the rooftop".
Abigail gave William a white look, "God, be serious, boss, this is working time, I don't want to be talked about behind my back that I got my current position by selling my lust."
"But the fact is that you did seduce me."
